17th March - 9835 kHz - VOA Radio Ashna still transmitting, heard at 1600 hrs UTC & closed at its scheduled time of 1630 hrs UTC. No regular programming, it was relaying VOA English TV's audio which has been playing a looped promo. The same was observed the day before.
15580 kHz VOA African service from Botswana relay did not transmit between 1600 to 2000 hrs UTC. Was heard the day before on the 16th with out of date news from last week, presumed archive program, music as filler & some dead air.
15460 kHz VOA from Kuwait & Botswana did not transmit. Same was observed the day before on the 16th.
Online stream is still going with old news, archived programs, music & dead air.

Shortwave Broadcast / Radio Free Asia still on the air - 17th March 2025

This seems to be the only USAMG station maintaining a schedule & broadcasting more hours than VOA. Heard today on 11510 & 9990 kHz Korean language service. Not sure if it is a recent program or from an archive. 2230 hrs UTC, 9390 kHz, Khmer service heard with a program but again unsure if recent or old.
